[GM]Dave must have been exceptionally drunk to take an Orcish Grappler seriously. I think you were just unlucky, he usually likes to torment his victims for a while before feeding his pets, you might have had a chance to escape certain death... ah well, maybe next time?

My money's on the Orc having already been summarily consumed by Jormy. Probably went down like this:

[GM]Dave: Hail, ... NPC?[GM]Dave: ...the hell?Orcish Grappler: There's a fishbot in West Ronfaure![GM]Dave: uuuuh-kay... you're an orc. What the hell do you care if a player is fishbotting? Just go kill him.Orcish Grappler: There's no PvP. I can't attack a Goblin Fisher.[GM]Dave: They're not a player?[GM]Dave: You called me away from bottle #10 because you think a Goblin is botting?Orcish Grappler: You're drinking on the job?[GM]Dave: You're not?
